Tomorrow I Begin another Course
Of Counseling
The Isolation
The Desperation
Of Mental Illness
Needs to be Addressed
I have Sunshine
Above me
But the Road
Through Mental Illness
Needs to be Kinder
And more Effective
To their Clients
We cannot 
Lean on Medication
Unless We first
Make a Place
For People 
In Our Communities
It is Not Enough
To Leave People
To Self- Destruct
With little Hope
And Promise
Of Living Independently
Free from Stigma
Perhaps I should not Bitch
Because I am Lucky
Just to be Alive
Considering
But I see the same
Plight
In those Around Me
And because of this
I must Question
The very Ethics
Of Psychiatry
We cannot 
Stand Back
And Disdain
Our Fellow Man
We must roll Our Sleeves Up
And Offer them a Decent Chance at Life
Grief Overwhelms Us
It is a Terror
To Live with Mental Illness
And Discover
That instead of Helping
Psychiatry Condemns
What Hope is there
If Psychiatry
Dissects 
Consumes
and then Shuns
It's very Own Clients
What's going On??
